2021 Boreray Fleece from Flavia
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other Boreray fleeces available.
Description
Flavia's fleece is very soft and loose and the tips of the staple are quite wavy. Like all Boreray fleece, there are some hairs but they are mainly on the britches and down the backbone area. The subtle shades of cream, browns and tan really make this fleece stand out. It is a lovely example of an adult Boreray fleece.

Flavia did not have lambs in 2021 so perhaps this explains why her fleece is especially lovely this year.
